United States President Barack Obama will travel to Saudi Arabia on
Tuesday to meet with new King Salman to pay respects after the death of
King Abdullah, the White House said on Saturday.
Obama is scheduled to arrive in New Delhi on Sunday where he will meet
with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and attend the Republic Day
parade. He will cut short his trip, missing a planned tour of the Taj
Mahal, to travel to Saudi Arabia, the White House said.
The White House had originally planned that US Vice President Joe Biden
would lead a delegation to Saudi Arabia, but now that Obama will travel
to Riyadh, Biden will remain in Washington.
